As of 2023, the actual import of nickel waste or scrap to Germany is required to contextualize the 2024 and beyond forecasted data, which starts at 80.015 million US Dollars. From 2024 to 2028, a clear declining trend is observed, decreasing each subsequent year. This suggests a consistent decrease in demand or availability for nickel waste imports.

Primary observations and potential contributing factors for future trends include:

Potential impact of evolving German policies on scrap metal imports and environmental regulations.
Economic conditions affecting Germany's industrial demand for nickel.
Technological advancements impacting recycling and substitution strategies.
